Innovative Crab Farmers Producer Company Limited

Innovative Crab Farmers Producer Company Limited is based out in Machavaram, which is in the Koduru Mandal of Krishna District. Our address is D. NO. 4-21/1 on Ramalayam Street. We are a group focused specifically on crab farming. It’s a bit different from the usual paddy or vegetable farming you see around here. Crab farming requires a lot of specific knowledge about the water and the tide. We set up this company to help the local crab farmers get organized. Our office on Ramalayam Street is right in the heart of the village. It’s a simple building where we gather to talk about the catch and the market prices. Krishna District has a lot of coastal areas that are perfect for this, but it’s also risky with the weather. We share tips on how to keep the crabs healthy and how to get them to the market while they are still fresh. It’s hard work and your hands usually get pretty dirty. We aren't trying to be some corporate giant. We are just local people who know about crabs and want to make a living. The community in Koduru is tight-knit, and everyone knows where our office is. We just keep our heads down and focus on the crabs. Most afternoons, you’ll find a few of us at D. NO. 4-21/1 discussing the latest water quality levels or the transport trucks coming in. It is a slow process but we enjoy the work we do here in this part of Andhra.
